PhD Studentships in Scientific Visualization
(to begin in the fall of 2019: 
http://www.zhanpingliu.org/ODU_MSVE_PhD_Studentships_2019-Fall.pdf)

=======================================================

Two (2) PhD studentships in Scientific Visualization and Data Analysis 
will be available in the fall of 2019 at the department of Modeling, 
Simulation, and Visualization Engineering (MSVE: 
https://www.odu.edu/msve), Batten College of Engineering and Technology 
(https://www.odu.edu/eng), Old Dominion University (ODU: www.odu.edu 
<http://www.odu.edu>).

Candidates already with Master’s degrees (or those currently in MS 
programs yet toward transfers) in computer science, information science 
or engineering, electrical engineering, applied mathematics, or other 
closely related disciplines are expected. The successful candidate will 
perform intensive research and sustainable development in scientific 
visualization and data analysis, involving vector / flow field 
visualization, parallel visualization, uncertainty visualization, and 
virtual reality. An ideal candidate should

*  be highly self-motivate  d
*  have a deep passion for research
*  address tasks in a discreet, progressive, and accordingly thorough manner
*  demonstrate strong research ability and solid development capability 
(with C/C++ programming required and with OpenGL / GLSL / CUDA / 
multi-threading / MPI  programming desired, considered a plus)
*  possess great communication skills in written and oral English

ODU is a national research university, as classified by the Carnegie 
Foundation. With an enrollment of 25,000 students, ODU is located at 
Norfolk, VA, just along the east coast of the United States. The 
surrounding metropolitan area called “Hampton roads”, covering other 
neighbor cities (Newport News, Hampton, Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, 
Portsmouth, et al), has a population of over 1.7 million. Norfolk is 
considered the historic, financial, and cultural center of this region, 
about 20 miles from NASA Langley Research Center (Hampton), about 25 
miles from Jefferson National Lab (Newport News), and about 3.5 hours of 
drive from Washington DC.

The MSVE department of ODU is the first of the nation to offer a 
doctoral program in modeling and simulation engineering, currently with 
a significant initiative in scientific visualization and data analysis 
in an effort to address the increasing needs of domain experts as they 
resort to the modeling-simulation-visualization-analysis cycle towards 
scientific discovery. MSVE students have access to state-of-the-art 
high-performance computing facilities in addition to research labs, a 
virtual reality theater, and a four-wall CAVE (Cave Automatic Virtual 
Environment). The graduate program is unique for the multidisciplinary 
characteristics, involving 35 faculty members from six academic 
colleges. In addition, it is supported by research scientists and 
computing resources of the nearby Virginia Modeling, Analysis, and 
Simulation Center (VMASC) located at Suffolk, VA.
